But Very Few Men Employed and wOrh

Troubles in Assembly 4e-Notes.
CHICAGO, May 13.-Ths Bricklayers' union
has decided to send a committee of confer
ence to the building trades council A spe-
cial meeting Of the council will be held al
Greenbaum's hall to meet the bricklayeES
and devise some means whereby a solid front
can be presented to the bosses. The brick
layers claim they have assurance that the
International union will forbid its mem
bers coming to Chicago during the lockout
Notwithstanding the claim put forth by
certain labor leaders that the majority Of
their members are at work, it is admitted by
the men themselves, and by soma of the ofi-
GERS, that there are but very few men em-
ployed, and that nine-tenths of the buildings
in course of erection have been stopped. The
number of idle men increases from day to
day, as jobs reach a stage where work
can not be continued without loss.
Among the master masons and contractors
everything awaits for the initial meeting Of
the conference committees. Then will be

nation among the material men, and an idea
can be formed as to its permanency. AL
ready some of the smaller lime dealers are
objecting vigorously to being obliged to re-
fuse orders, while rich concern like Stearns
g Company, are selling to every one.
Stearns g. Company is the only important
firm that has refused to sign the boycotting
agreement, and their action has aroused the
Ire Of the master builders.
The requests for permits to finish jobs are
diminishing in number, most jobs being
finished up to the quitting point. An excep-
ton Is made in favor of the plasterers, who
are allowed to continue to end any work
on which they had begun previous to the
declaration of the lockout but no new work
Is permitted to be taken In hand.
Henry Sweet, who claims to have brick
yard with a capacity of 900 day, is un-
known at the builders exchange, although the
brioklayers union say that after Monday he
will furnish them with his claimed capacity
u they so desire.

KING KALAKUAs SCHEME.
A Rumor That Samoa and Tonga are to
Be Annexed to His Kingdom.

DO AnneNeu TO MS hihSuOms
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-Some stir has
been caused in certain quarters here by the
news from the South Pacific that King Kali
akua is about to annex Samoa and Tonga
Claus Spreckels, who is striving to establish
large sugar plantations in Samoa to make up
for the trade he has lost in Hawaii, is be-
lieved to be the author of the story of Kala-
kua's vaulting ambition. Some time ago
King Maleatoa, of Samoa, who has been ter
rorized by his subjects and various foreign
consuls, applied to the king of the Sandwich
Islands to annex his unhappy kingdom to the
Hawaiian group, and let the Samoans be-
come the vassals of mighty Kalallua, the
most powerful sovereign of the race
Recently Kalakua sent a commission to
the Sandwich Islands, not to effect annexa-
ton, it is said but cultivate friendly rela-
tions and frame treaty of commerce. The
royal yacht will soon sail with the king and
his favorite advisers for Australia by way Of
Tonga and Samoa.
